Like I’m not trying to do “everyone’s good actually” grey villain type stuff. I’m not saying people never had cruel or selfish intent. I’m just not interested in writing the people that do. I’m not saying everyone is redeemable, I’m just not interested in writing people that aren’t

and that's okay and GOOD, actually! 🥰🥰🥰

I used to be much more able to dig into the darkness of people, to try to examine cruelty of many kinds, to try to understand and depict it. I think there’s value in that. But I also am so personally exhausted of real world cruelty that part of the escape of fantasy is not having to deal with it
